Djouce dominates the views of the Wicklow Mountains from Roundwood and Newtown Mountkennedy. The Old Irish word dígas is defined by the Dictionary of the Irish Language as 'high, lofty; a height'. There is a Sliab Digsa mentioned in the Metrical Dindshenchas, where the second element is interpreted as a woman's name. This shows that the meaning of dígas was already obscure by the time of the Metrical Dindshenchas (12th century) and a story was probably invented to account for the name.
Djouce is the 93rd highest place in Ireland.Trackback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/91/?PHPSESSID=j95pd526t5ulhi2l9v6a6hhc30

I climbed this mountain today (Easter Sat. 05) with most of the family to do a bit of research for the Navan Hillwalkers outing next Sunday.Well, the views were fantastic until the cloud came down low. What is pretty amazing is the "boardwalk" that runs from the carpark aforesaid along the Wicklow Way route. The "boardwalk" has been constructed as part of the fightback against the damage caused by overwalking in some of the most popular beauty spots.It makes things very easy...which feels like cheating. Take a look! Suitable for very small mountainy men. Trackback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/91/comment/1595/
